Watching the World Bloom with the Montpellier Butterfly by Jean Okimoto

Create a colorful thank you with the new Montpellier Butterfly on a watercolored card - it's sure to be noticed, and appreciated! Hello - Jean Okimoto here - sharing a quick design that's also perfect for birthdays, congrats and thinking-of-you cards too.

Paint watercolor paper with diluted Kaleidacolor dye ink refills and heat-set it. Flick a few water droplets onto the dried paper. Let it air-dry, then cut it with the 3-¼" Square Basics die.

Cut Montpellier Butterfly from watercolor paper. Remove the bottom flower and leaflet to create a new look. It's such a versatile die - great as designed, or using just the top three or bottom three flowers with the beautiful butterfly.

Cut a coordinating turquoise vellum butterfly from the Butterfly Ensemble set. Cut the center portion from gold mirror cardstock using the Morning Garden Butterflies die.

Stamp the greeting - from the Watching the World Bloom stamp set - on a scrap of watercolored paper with VersaMagic Turquoise Gem. Dry the ink, then trim it with the 2" x ¾" Rectangle Basics die.

Attach everything to a top-folded smooth white 5-½" square card. Add gold gem stickers.
